From the ICANN Board meeting minutes:
"Paul Twomey provided information that ICANN will be undertaking a public consultation on representations that it has received from the ITU on .INT and accompanying policies. The US Department of Commerce has written to ICANN asking for advice from on the steps being taken to advance the issue and ICANN will be replying separately. ICANN currently administers .INT as part of the IANA function." FYI: The registration policies of ICANN's .INT registry have impacted the IGO community (as the registry allows only one registration per IGO; accordingly an IGO cannot register both its name and its acronym/abbreviation). This is one part of the argument calling for enhanced protections for IGOs. The topic may become part of a PDP if the GNSO Council votes to approve consideration of the subject matter at the upcoming San Juan session. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
